Here’s why this phone might be the standout device of the year so far.
A battery capacity to (not) die for
One of its standout features is the massive 7100mAh silicon-carbon (Si-C) battery, which significantly outperforms competitors in the same price range like the Galaxy S26 with its 4300mAh battery and the Pixel 10 with 4970mAh. There’s no sign that the upcoming Pixel 11 series will match up.

Motorola hasn’t specified how long the battery will last, but based on the performance of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s 7050mAh Si-C battery, users can anticipate multi-day battery life. Essentially, battery anxiety could become a thing of the past.
Super-fast charging
Importantly, Motorola has combined the large battery with 90W fast charging. They claim you can get enough “power for the day” in just six minutes, though the exact percentage this represents is unspecified.

However, there is a caveat: this charging speed is achievable only with Motorola’s 90W ‘TurboPower’ charger, which is sold separately. This charger is not currently available in the UK, but a compatible 125W charger is priced at £49.99 at the time of writing.

Nonetheless, even without maximum speeds, any certified USB-C fast charger should significantly reduce charging time for this large battery.
